• Remove all burrs carefully and smooth the
edges.
These portholes have a clamp profile; fixing
holes in the side of the ship are NOT neces-
sary.
• Apply a sufficient amount of sealant to en-
sure a good seal, see drawing 1, page 19.
• Position the hatch in the hole.
Fixing Screws:
Use M4 screws in accordance with DIN965
(ISO7046) of DIN966 (ISO7047).
Choose a screw length related to the wall thick-
ness, see Table in Drawing 1, page 19.
D= Clamp Reach, L= Screw Length.
• Fit screws and tighten securely.
• Place the cover seal in the porthole.
ATTENTION: Do not shorten the cover seal
yet! Wait two days in order to prevent an
opening in the seam between the two ends.
Then cut the extending part.

powder.
